50 GAMES | STACEY PONTON
Congratulations to Stacey Ponton as she plays her 50th Game for Boronia.
Pont has been one of the most skilled players our Women’s Squad has seen since she started towards the end of our inaugural year. Spending time at both ends of the ground, Pont has spent the majority of the last few seasons at half back.
Her great football IQ, ability to read the play and penetrating kick saw her finish Runner Up in the D Squad Best and Fairest in 2021, before playing mostly Senior football since.
Congratulations Pont!
